Vicor, a leader in innovative high-performance power modular components, introduces how to apply electronic technology to solve real-world challenges through a podcast.


Vicor announced on the 17th that it is hosting the Powering Innovation podcast.

Focusing on 'innovative technologies that change the world,' Dragonfly Pictures Inc. (DPI), a manufacturer of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) systems, provides special support for the first episode.

The first podcast episode provides an in-depth analysis of how UAV systems and DPI use a new class of tethered drones to triple communication range.

Joe Pawelczyk, Vice President of Operations at DPI, meets with Robert Gendron, Vice President of Product Development at Vicor, to discuss advanced technology-driven changes that solve real-world problems.

This episode examines how communication networks and DPI technologies, required not only for security-critical communications such as military applications but also at sea, are surpassing today's technical standards.

In this episode, DPI takes things to a new dimension with a drone capable of staying airborne for up to 400 hours without needing to land. It sheds light on methods of innovation.

“The Powering Innovation podcast highlights several ways to collaborate with customers to realize technological innovation using high-density power modules. As we explore unique applications and power delivery methods for them, we expect these episodes to engage all engineers designing UAV systems and mobile applications that prioritize power density,” said Vice President Gendron.

Vicor's Powering Innovation podcast plans to release new episodes several times a year. Listeners can gain new ideas across a wide range of topics, including power supply, power issues, and creative power architectures, as well as supply chain problems and real-world challenges.

The 'Powering Innovation' podcast is available for download on various podcast platforms, including Spotify, Apple Music, and Google Podcasts.
